TE Olsen feels like wearing Bears jersey for longer

As there have been doubts that he could be replaced since the Chicago Bears brought in tight end Brandon Manumaleuna on the first day of free agency, tight end Greg Olson, however, said that he is not unhappy with the team’s decision at all and has made it clear that he would only like to wear the Bears jersey in the new season.

“So far I have a great feeling about my role this year,” Olsen said on his Twitter page. “I have no desire to play anywhere but in Chicago.”

Leading the team with 60 catches and eight touchdowns last season, Olson proved that he is good blocking tight end. But that could not work with new coordinator Mike Martz, who traditionally doesn’t emphasize the tight end in the passing game on his offense line and there has been no tight end able to catch more than 38 passes in a season in Mart’s scheme. So, after the Bears signed Manumaleuna, a lot of people have been wondering Olsen could be another replaceable tight end under Martz’ ruling.

However, Olsen is just confident that he will remain as an important role and he is ready to compete with any other pass-catching tight ends. Well, wish him good chance.

Jay Cutler does not expect apology from Urlacher

The Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler’s bearing criticism from teammate just explains well why Cutler jersey is still among the top 10 best selling player jerseys. Instead of getting angry, or at least unhappy, the quarterback said receiver Brian Urlacher did not need to apologize for critical remarks on the quarterback.

Urlacher questioned the Bears' direction while wondering why they went from emphasizing the run to the pass during an interview last weekend. And such questioning remarks caused a lot to guess he might be unhappy with Cutler’s existence in Chicago.

While bringing the Pro Bowl quarterback from the Denver Broncos gave the Bears quite a lot of hopes in avoiding missing the playoffs for the third year, Cutler has not performed as they expected. The quarterback now leads the NFL with 20 interceptions and the Bears have lost four straight games and six of the last seven games, during which Cutler threw totally 15 interceptions.

Cutler knows he should be blamed for the losses and interceptions, so he understands Urlacher’s frustration with the team’s performance, and said there is no need for the linebacker to apologize.

"You can't take anything personal in this game, especially whenever we're losing," Cutler said. "I'm going to get a lot of blame. I'm aware of that. A lot of it should come my way. I'm understanding of that. I know Brian's frustrated. I'm frustrated. There's not much we can do."

McNabb led Eagles to 24-20 win over Bears

After two straight losses, the Philadelphia Eagles won their sixth game of the season by beating the Chicago Bears 24-20. Starting quarterback Donovan McNabb, wearing his Eagles jersey, did not give his hometown team a chance to end their losing streak.

McNabb threw for 244 yards and led his team on a 62-yard touchdown drive that running back LeSean McCoy capped with a neat 10-yard run, sealing the game as the Bears’ fifth loss in six games. McCoy scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 10-yard run following defensive tackle Antonio Dixon’s blocked field goal.

For the Bears, Sundays’ loss was another hit to their playoff hopes. Trading Jay Cutler from the Denver Broncos in the offseason just did not save them from losing fate as it has been more and more likely that the team will miss the postseason for the third straight season.

Eagles will play against Bears at scheduled time

The NFL announced Tuesday that the Philadelphia Eagles will play at Chicago against the Bears at scheduled time on Week 11 Sunday night.
